NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW OF Radio Golf

In the Rush to Progress, the Past Is Never Too Far Behind

Ben Brantley

May 9, 2007: An elegy whispers beneath the energy that animates “Radio Golf,” the last play by August Wilson. The production that opened last night at the Cort Theater, directed by Kenny Leon, has the crackle of a bustling comedy crossed with an old-fashioned melodrama, in which scenes end with surprise revelations or personal declarations of war.
